O.o This could be very cool for FFXI or above, I used to love the way the VMU for dreamcast used to interact with games, and you could then unplug it and use it as a basic handheld to continue playing "part" of the game.Then Wada made a surprising comment about the future direction of his company, which had been primarily software-driven.
"This is one of the reasons Square Enix will collaborate with Taito, a company that produces physical hardware," he said. "In our talks with Taito, ideas for an actual physical product have come up. In any case, we will be releasing some 'thing.' It's interesting in that it's not the sort of thing you expect from Square Enix."
